AN/ HEY GUYS. I'M BACK PRETTY QUICK GIVEN THE OVERWHELMING SUPPORT (BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE) FOR THIS STORY. I'M PROUD TO SAY I HAVE MANAGED TO WRITE THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE SECOND INSTALMENT... "I'M STILL HERE"... WHICH I SHALL POST AS SOON AS THIS GOES LIVE. IN TERMS OF QUESTIONS PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME, I DO AGREE THAT AS A PERSON I'M MORE OF A CHERYL THAN A TONI. I PUSH PEOPLE AWAY WHEN THINGS AREN'T GOOD, AND WHEN I'M STRESSED I GET NASTY AND BITE BACK. I'M NOT THE MOST MATURE EITHER, WHICH IS A SOLID EXPLANATION FOR THE STUFF HAPPENING IN MY LIFE ATM. I HAVE MESSED UP A LOT LATELY, AND I APOLOGISE FOR THAT. THE PERSON THAT'S ADRESSED TO WILL KNOW WHEN SHE SEES. I'M SORRY AND I MISS HER BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GROVEL AND BEG HER TO WANT ME ANYMORE. SHE CAN MAKE HER CHOICE. YES I WANT HER, AND ALWAYS WILL, BUT SHE CAN TALK TO ME AND COME GET ME WHEN SHE'S READY AND WANTS ME AGAIN.

IN THE MEANTIME... I'M HERE WITH HEARTBREAK WHICH - IN THE WORDS OF A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE - MAKES FOR A VERY GOOD STORY!

WHO'S READY FOR THE NEXT STAGE OF THIS?

I THINK I AM
